The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has released the 2023 ASPS Procedural Statistics, which showed a 5 percent rise in plastic surgeries and a 7 percent rise in minimally invasive procedures compared to the previous year.
Plastic surgeons may not have a crystal ball. Still, they work with so many patients throughout the year that many surgeons get an innate feeling for which procedures are popular, which are declining and which buzzworthy procedures are poised to take off.
For patients who desire a flatter, more toned tummy and who find that diet and exercise alone cannot provide the results they desire, a tummy tuck may be an appropriate option. Drains after surgery are the typical method used, but drainless surgery is something to consider.
"I'd say back ache, neck ache, shoulder pain – those things all get better. And I'd say every symptom that people come in for gets better, so they should be able to fit into their gym clothes better, they should be able to run better, they should be able to not deal with rashes anymore."
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) supports our members, their families and staffs, patients and communities in Southern California as they cope with the devastating effects of the wildfires in their area.
